ITB, Berlin

March 8, 10 am – From Bauhaus to Futurism: Berlin’s 20th Century Architecture
Berlin’s landscape reflects more than the destruction of World War II and the division of the Cold War. Guided by a local architect or historian, this tour explores how the rich story of 20th century architecture can be told by the city’s skyline, and highlights the innovative and impressive buildings of modern-day Berlin.

March 14, 12 pm – West Berlin, Culture CapitalDuring the Cold War, West Berlin was described by JFK as “an island of freedom in a communist sea.” Today, as the dramatic differences between Berlin’s former halves fade away, all eyes are again turning west. We tour the streets of Charlottenburg and discover a new nostalgia for the glamor and sophistication that made this area a culture capital.

Other Opportunities Around The World
